“We would thoroughly recommend Stubben Barn 100%.”

It is the nicest cottage we have stayed in through Sykes. It was beautifully furnished, very comfortable, very well equipped and set in lovely grounds. The owners Ann and Michael were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We could have stayed longer. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

“The cottage is perfect in a beautiful area.”

The views are superb and it’s so quiet and restful. Everything we wanted with friendly owners who were unobtrusive but extremely helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

“The cottage was in a beautiful location and the view from the full length window in the sitting room was stunning.”

We could see all the way down to the local reservoir from that room. As for the quality of the cottage and fittings we could not fault it and we found Mr and Mrs Kerry very welcoming and most helpful,even giving us a call after we got home to check that we had arrived safely. One of the best cottages that we have stayed at!

“The barn is a tasteful conversion from its original use, It has the most wonderful open views across the hills and the reservoir at Ogston.”

The large sitting room window makes the most of the panoramic scene, one seldom experienced in any other holiday property in our experience. The accommodation is tastefully furnished with comfortable seating and period ornaments and is a credit to Ann and Michael, the owners. On the second day of our holiday we were snowed in and Michael, the son, showed great concern for our wellbeing. As a couple who are in their 80’s this really made our holiday complete.

“A Home from Home Vacation”

This accommodation was ideal and met all our requirements. It had everything to help make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The bedrooms were cosy and clean, the bathroom with its spacious shower was also lovely whilst the kitchen and dining area had more than adequate facilities. We spend all our evenings in the spacious living room, watching TV (as it was part of the Wimbledon fortnight!). We could not have made a better choice for our base to explore the Peak District.

“Superb views, comfortable and well-equipped cottage with friendl”

This is our fourth stay at Stubben Barn, and we are never disappointed. Mike and ann Kerry are so welcoming and nothing is too much bother for them. The cottage is superbly-equipped and very comfortable and warm. The view from the large lounge window over the reservoir is wonderful and the Matlock Hills from the side windows superb, when it is not raining!! Couldn't want anywhere nicer. Central location for visiting Derbshire.
